What makes our company unique when compared to teams performing a similar capability in other companies is that we place more emphasis on the algorithmic and theoretical knowledge. Practically, while SQL and other database management skills are necessary, those skills are assumed rather than celebrated, whereas implementing a bleeding edge version of XGBoost or having a new insight into an algorithm is celebrated.

That’s a lot of trust. While we may not have actually touched “data science” yet, just watching the people around us has been wildly insightful, and we’ve gotten that kind of varied exposure I was talking about earlier.
